I began working on PIEBALDBASIC a few years back, before common sense called a halt.

I don't anticipate hair loss. My father still has his in his 80s and his father had his into his 90s.

Ew, no! Consider using a fluent syntax:

Dir("\serverx\widgetco\").List("foo*.zip").Newest().Copy("foo.zip").Extract("foo.csv");

Consider that your nudge over the edge. Wink | ;)

Not a bad idea, I thought about it and thought maybe it would be harder to parse, but maybe it would be easier. So maybe FLINQ ? OMG | :OMG:

On the other hand, my fevered imagination has spewed forth the possibility of merging two pipelines together:

COPY ( MERGE ( LIST ( DIR ( "\\serverx\widgetco\" ) , "foo*.csv" ) , LIST ( DIR ( "\\servery\acme\" ) , "bar*.csv" ) ) )

But that rabbit hole leads to implementing UNION and INTERSECTION, and my eyes glaze over. YAGNI!!

Exactly: LINQ and File Directories (C#) | Microsoft Docs

Though I haven't looked into any of their linqs (harhar) it might be a start, throw in some extension methods, and voila.

Heck, why not -- if you stick with IEnumerable<File> or something like that, then Union, Join, and Intersect should "just work".

This could turn into a cool little library. A quick google on "file linq" did not discover any existing implementations other than that first link which seems to be cloned here.

Hmmm, interesting idea.

Allow the "script" to be actual calls to the Extension Methods and compile to a .net asembly -- Compiling Source Code from a String[^] -- sounds dangerous. Cool | :cool:

It doesn't require parsing on my part at all. I like it.

Edit:
Further thought leads to considering a class with the required methods and then tack the "script" onto it in a dynamically-compiled class:

using ( Flinq f = new Flinq() ) { try { f.DIR("...").LIST("...") ... ; } catch { f.LOG ( ... ) } }

Need to protect against Little Bobby Tables, but otherwise what could possibly go wrong?

Dropping back and punting...

What I got working today has the scripts looking like:

DIR("C:\temp\") LIST("foo*.csv) NEWEST () DIR ("D:\data\") COPY ( "foo.csv")

This is much simpler to implement by using a regular expression to split up the segments and keep Little Bobby Tables from attacking.

First snow fall of winter for us here

Upstate New York - outside Albany. approx. 2 inches.

Kids are looking forward to enough snow this season to make forts and snow men with. Good times.

Which side of Atlanta? I'm in the northwest metro area and we got 8 inches of snow.

Only time I can remember more was the blizzard of 1993, just after my daughter's first birthday.

Probably - but you could also find an unrelated MacCutchan within 100 miles of where you live.

Most unlikely actually. Apart from my relatives there are very few "MacCutchan"s in the world. Most people spell the name differently.

Not only in US, also here pretty much snow. But weather forecast tells it will also disappear this Weekend.
